Their effectiveness depends on integration and coordination

Stakeholders’ Commitment rather
than involvement.

European convergence although is becoming a reality, but it is not spontaneous. Development of regional/ national economies supported by common actions make alignments and convergence go faster.
Third regions’ experiences show us that, in spite of our local idiosyncrasy, we have many things to share and many things to learn from each other. This is a bidirectional learning process.
Platform on which the project has been supported, give not only partners but firms created the feeling of belonging to a real European market.

Lessons learnt
In 1805, the emperors from Russia and Austria agreed on joining their forces to defeat Napoleon. Russians said that their troops would be on the battle field on the 20th of October.
Austrian army prepared their plans based on such date, according to Gregorian calendar. Russia, used Julian calendar, which has 10 days of delay.
Difference permitted Napoleon defeat one army first and then the other.
